Typically I don't usually have a problem releasing AK to a 4 bet from a full stack but I wasn't sure if this was a snap or a fold here vs a short stack.

Villain 31/17/6 over 100 hands

Merge - $0.04 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

SB: $2.86
BB: $5.02
UTG: $4.47
UTG+1: $2.16
MP: $5.39
MP+1: $1.20
Hero (LP): $4.00
CO: $1.36
BTN: $4.05

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.04

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero has K A

fold, fold, fold, MP+1 raises to $0.12, Hero raises to $0.36, fold, fold, fold, fold, MP+1 raises to $1.20 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.84

What is the most you would call in a spot like this? I know its villain dependent but in general? 50bbs? less? more?

If the player is loose aggressive I'm almost always calling, especially at micro stakes like this. At the most u lose just a few bucks, I call this all in just about all the time. Most of the time I think he flips two face cards possibly AQ or pocket queens. If its pocket queens u still have a very decent chance of winning the hand. I make this call almost always unless the player is incredibly tight and plays very very few hands

yeah , the fact that effective stacks are less than 50bbs deep makes this an easy call IMO.

I think 50bbs and less I'm calling the vast majority of the time, after that it will become more and more villian dependent. Just the fact that it is a shortstack gives you reason to think he's fishy and he probably will stack off with worse enough to get it in.
